Great News!

I am sooooo excited to get back to Uganda. As it gets closer and I start to work on the trip a little more I can barely contain myself. Something super cool......US Soccer has agreed to partner with us (Goals for Girls) and is allowing us to use their logo on all of our brochures. In essence they will be a sponsor and we should know by next week how much equipment they will be donating for us to take to Uganda.

Friends From Mitsiko Children's Choir

Last night we were blessed to mingle with some new friends from Uganda. It was so fun for the kids and Shawn to get to meet people like the ones I have fallen in love with in Uganda.

Random Pictures of My Beautiful Friends

I sometimes ache physically when I think about Africa. I am so anxious to get back in June that I feel like a child anticipating Christmas morning everyday. Ever since I have been home I have had trouble sleeping. It's been hard to stop replaying the images I saw. I think the memories help me stay focused and motivated to do something more. I need Africa more than Africa needs me!

The Longing Is Painful

I don't know how to describe it. But, in a rudimentary way, I'll try. There isn't a day that I don't think about the children I met in Uganda. Sometimes, I can close my eyes and smell the dirt, feel the humidity, hear the giggles, and feel the children touching my skin. I know it's hard for others to understand.........but, I could really live there. What a better way to live my life then serving God's most vulnerable people. It' not realistic, I know..............but by doing the things I'm trying to do with work in Uganda, I at least hope that I can have an impact. On a happy note, I have had a few friends who have recently been successful in adoption in Uganda. I've also enjoyed following a blog about the Penner family who brought home two children. One step at a time..............we can all change the direction of the world.
